Morning Velvet...

...Was founded in Montreal (Canada) in 2009 when singer-songwriter Seb Smith recorded a 15 original song demo. After finding other musicians to join in, the band got the chance to test their material in many venues and band competitions in Eastern Canada such as Emergenza, Envol et Macadam, L'omnium du Rock etc.

In fall 2010, the band recorded a 6 song EP that was launched at the
Café Campus in February 2011. First prize winner of the ''Showcase your band'' contest in summer 2012, the band also got involved in benefit concerts for ''Moisson Montreal'' in 2011-2012 and the ''Canadian Cancer Society'' at the Club Soda in 2012-2013. The 2013 show at the Club Soda gave them the chance to be heard by renowned people in the music industry. The same night they got in 2nd place out of 15 bands at the “Battle for Life” battle of the band.

In January 2013, they opened for Bryan Byrne (singer of I Mother
Earth) and aloso played in front of Mark Spicoluk (A&R of Universal Canada and ex-bass player for Avril Lavigne and Sum 41).

Influenced by bands like Coldplay, Editors, Foo Fighters, U2, Muse, Radiohead, The Cure and the grunge era, Morning Velvet get most of their inspiration from British pop-rock music. With a refreshing sound, dancing rhythms, catchy melodies, and astonishing stage presence, Morning Velvet deliver an interesting live experience filled with originality. They are now working on new material for
a second EP to be lauch in Fall 2014.


By many, Morning Velvet has been described as a band with up-beat and dancing tempos, crunchy guitars, groovy bass lines and catchy melodies. The overall sound is made of something between british, late 70's new-wave and new american pop-rock all along with a distinctive personnal sound. Their lyrics are about many subjects we all struggle with like love/hate, peace/war, the meaning of life and many more. Sometimes dark, sometimes positive the message is delivered in a simple and effective way. Yours to discover!!!!!!
